Description
Unknown The ultimate tome of sorcery and necromancy, sought by all ambitious wizards of
the Hyborian Age. It is so imbued and enriched with Necromantic magic that it
provides an unlimited number of powerful ingredients (for Necromancy) when
held or kept nearby. The tome also contains a comprehensive list of ingredients
and their influence in Necromancy. Characters with this tome never have to find
ingredients when casting necromancy, and have a very strong influence in the
outcome of their magic. Also, gives +5 to all rolls involving Necromancy.
Thoth-
Amon
An artifact which grants its wearer incredible powers of mental
domination. Gives a +5 to all rolls involving Telepathy psionics and
Illusion magic.
Unknown A gemstone carved in the shape of a claw, that possesses power of
great evil. It is described in the Book of Skelos, where it is said to
give two things: great power and a hideous death. Wielding the
Hand of Nergal gives +2 to all rolls involving magic. Bonuses
granted this way are negated by the Heart of Tammuz.
Unknown The sacred jewel of Acheron. Worth massive amounts of gold.
Unknown A golden globe (some say in the shape of a heart), that possesses
the force of the Power of Light. It is the only magical thing that
can defeat the Hand of Nergal. When it is within 1 mile of the
Hand of Nergal, all that item's power's are negated. The Heart of
Tammuz also grants its wielder protection from magic, which comes
in many forms (Narrator's discretion).
Scattered The mirrors of the Valusian enchanter Thuzun Thune. Each mirror has a
different power. One allows travel between places (teleportation). Another has
divinatory powers, and shows images of past, present, and future at random. A
third mirror is used to trap the soul's of target victims. A fourth mirror creates
doppelgangers of souls trapped in the third. And the fifth mirror allows limited
time travel. These artifacts have been scattered and lost for many years, but are
highly sought after by adventurers. Each of these mirrors is also a poweful
ingredient in any Illusion, Divination, or Transmutation magic.
Thoth-
Amon
A ring which allows its wearer to control the great baboon-demon
bound to the ring. Use of the ring curses and depletes the lifeforce
of the user.
Unknown A magical ring or gemstone which gives power over the opposite
sex to those who understand its use.
Unknown A sword inscribed with the symbol of the phoenix, with the power
to slay demonic creatures. The sword gives the bearer +3 in all
Rolls to Hit, Rolls to Bypass Armor, and Rolls to Wound demons. It
also grants +3 in Rolls to Intimidate demons, and grants the
wielder immunity to fear from demons. The magical nature of the
sword also grants +1 to all Rolls to Wound.
Unknown A priceless set of jewels sacred to the dark god Gwahlur.
